Study on the substantive nature of regimes and their direct effects on national behavior. Through the examination of the Mediterranean
Action Plan (Med Plan) a regime for marine pollution control in the Mediterranean Sea, the author seeks to demonstrate that
this regime played a key role in altering the balance of power within Mediterranean governments by empowering a group of experts,
who then contributed to the development of convergent state policies in compliance with the regime. The data are derived from
over ninety interviews with government officials from the different Mediterranean states and from United Nations archives.--SCAD

"Epistemic Communities, Constructivism and International Environmental Politics brings together 25 years of publications by
Peter M. Haas. The book examines how the world has changed significantly over the last 100 years, discusses the need for new,
constructivist scholarship to understand the dynamics of world politics, and highlights the role played by transnational networks
of professional experts in global governance. Combining an intellectual history of epistemic communities with theoretical
arguments and empirical studies of global environmental conferences, as well as international organizations and comparative
studies of international environmental regimes, this book presents a broad picture of social learning on the global scale.
In addition to detailing the changes in the international system since the Industrial Revolution, Haas discusses the technical
nature of global environmental threats. Providing a critical reading of discourses about environmental security, this book
explores governance efforts to deal with global climate change, international pollution control, stratospheric ozone, and
European acid rain. With a new general introduction and the addition of introductory pieces for each section, this collection
offers a retrospective overview of the author's work and is essential reading for students and scholars of environmental politics,
international relations and global politics"--
